As always the art is so stunning this author really is the master of portraying sex as the sexiest thing in the world, even without showing too much detail. I also noticed that the author loved using certain colors for certain moments to either highlight or bring color to the panel when it was more or less monotonous, and idk I really liked that. I’m also impressed with how the author managed to smoothly connect the main characters from each story to another main character in a different story; at first I really only thought they’d only be a collection of short stories that were not at all connected to each other. I gotta warn y’all tho about the angst and drama that’s incoming cos goddamn that last story really got me to take a hit in the heart. Enjoyed this a lot !! Also this author literally makes the sexiest women, I want a GL from them too

Really was hoping that Yokoya and Hondou’s were more fleshed out cos I like crossdressing themes, but this was more a collection of one-shots aside from Yokoya and Hondou’s story so don’t expect a detailed development of their relationships. Didn’t like the teacher and student pairing tho

Look, I loved the romantic vibes of the couple, japanese BL is good with that, but everything was going too fast, with some scenes and dialogues making me feel like “??”; the whole thing just felt very messy. Also hated the first time they had sex very dubcon and it caused the MC to cheat on his gf (even though it seemed like she did haven’t the best character).

You know that the art is good as hell when the smut isn’t as explicit compared to other R-rated BLs (e.g., showing of privates) but it’s still so sexy and sensual. The way their hair falls down, how they all grasp and hold each other, how they touch each other so softly, THE EXPRESSION OF EVERYTHING is just too good. Calling it beautiful art is an understatement. To complement the gorgeous art, the story is also great, interesting, and feels very noir without everything being black and white only. I loved that the author took their time in discussing the stories and backstories of everyone AND who knew we were getting some GL on the side which really made me love everything even more. Furthermore, even with such a plot, they didn’t forget to insert really funny panels as well. You wouldn’t expect it, but it really gave the manhwa more variety. Greatly recommend this !

I was at awe when I finished the story not only because of the good ending, but also with how the author explained their process when they wrote the manhwa. Achieving a good ending for a manhwa like this without having any loose ends, plot holes, non-fleshed out characters, stagnant character development, and unnecessary sex scenes is so crazy good and it’s what sets this story and the author apart from other BL content. I really loved how the author took their time in giving the characters so much depth. I still don’t sympathize with Soohyun, but I understand him. Heads up for people wanting to read this, the couple does start off on a very toxic note (with some rape added in the mix, unfortunately, but it does fit the theme of the story) and there are heavy themes and portrayals of abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, and psychological) so just be warned.

Man this is so bad please I couldn’t force myself to finish it. I’m so sad because buff bottom trope was wasted on pwp and even with being pwp, the sex scenes were not anything outstanding. Duke is delusional about Illic wanting it, therefore, technically committing sexual assault. I wouldn’t really wanna be at the point Illic finds he has feelings for the duke. I get the incest with nobilities, I think that’s true to a certain extent, but incest will definitely not produce pretty human beings. Art is good but not enough to make me stay reading.

I liked the premise of the plot and it was promising, but there are just things that I didn’t like or were just weird and confusing. For instance, the fact they made Candy an SS agent, but his behavior at the start was not really SS agent material and I think he should have had more training with social skills (like being aware of the expressions he made and being able to suppress it, things like that); But his physicality and combat skills are definitely SS agent level. As for the smut scenes, it wasn’t bad but the thought of Hajun loosening Candy up for 3 freaking seconds and inserting his dick without being lubed up makes me physically cringe. I get not wearing a condom cos other people like that, but strangers shouldn’t really be fking raw. Anyway, the story was not perfect, but it was good enough.
